Flights and logistics: Adventure pur sang

Through our travels and expeditions, we are more than ever convinced that nature is a perfect teacher. When travelling through pristine wilderness, over high mountains or on rough seas, you immediately feel humble, a state of mind we tend to loose in this 21first high-tech century where we think we can conquer anything !

Being outdoors, you appreciate your shelter, food and water, and you appreciate more than ever true friendship. One learns when to travel and when to stay put and listen to the teachings of the weather elements. One doesn't ‘conquer’ a mountain; the mountain lets one walk on it.

Through our INUKSUK website we want to share with you our adventures and respect for mother Earth. We invite you to use your 5 senses and start to witness what nature can provide you: a never ending teaching book. Happy trails, Bert & Kiki

There is only one flight a week between Ulaanbaatar and Moron. Due to late decisions on the winter to “summer” shift of internal flight schedules, some logistical last minute changes had to be made.

On April the second we’ll fly from Brussels to Prague and continue via Moscow to Ulaanbaatar. But instead of flying directly from the Capital to Moron, we will cover the 700 km distance by car, driving to Moron and then to Khatgal, where Joël, Bayana and of course the dogs will be waiting for us !

“Give me snow, give me dogs; you can keep the rest", said polar explorer Knud Rasmussen. We totally agree, although we wouldn't mind a beautiful blue sky and a whole lot of sunshine.

The average covered distance by car is 100km/3h. This is all part of our first Mongolian adventure, no complaints from us! After the expedition, the return to the Capital will be by plane.

A winter expedition is definitely not easy to organize. We are lucky to have a logistical base camp both in Belgium (BILS EXCLUSIVE TRAVEL) and in Mongolia ( WIND OF MONGOLIA. Being constantly in contact, they take care of the flights and all the logistics so that we can concentrate on the preparation for the expedition itself.

Thank you Bart, thank you Julien!
